Type

AoE Heal, Single Target

Ability Details

"A memory of corruption. Torment leeches Life from your foes and redistributes it to your allies."

Deals an amount of Damage proportional to the target's remaining Life, and scales slightly with Courage.
- Foes receive [47.8% + 0.86% x Courage] of their remaining Life as damage.
- Bosses receive [23.6% + 0.16% x Courage] of their remaining Life as damage.
- Damage ignores 10 Enemy Armour.
- If the target has 1 Life remaining, Torment will kill them.

Heals the caster for an amount of Life proportional to the damage dealt.
- Amount healed is greatly reduced on bosses

[To be updated] Can heal your ally, but is too buggy to figure out the factor that determines who is being healed:
- Torment cast by another player can cause discrepancy between what's shown on your health bar and your actual Life.
- Whether the ally is within range or not is not the only factor.
- Whether the ally is within the caster's line of sight or not does not seem to be a factor.
- Whether the caster is a host or a client doesn't seem to dictate who is being healed.

A target that survives Torment receive Stagger damage.

Casting range does not scale with any Virtue.

Ability Information

Effect

Incapacitates nearby enemies, rendering them vulnerable to damage.

Assigned Virtue

Spirit

Cooldown

Type

AoE Debuff

Ability Details

"Make them kneel. Enemies take damage at your command. Rend them weakened with lowered defenses."

Crowd Control duration is ~4 seconds, and does not scale.

Behest enemies are blinded, and therefore are vulnerable to the Lethality Multiplier after a few seconds of being stunned.

Damaging an affected enemy will end its CC early.

Enemies will take increased Stagger from the next hit whilst under the effect of Behest.

AoE radius scales with Spirit.

Ability Information

Effect

Conjures up a stampede of spectral stags, which charge in a column from where they were cast.

Assigned Virtue

Grace

Unlock Level

Cooldown

48

Type

AoE

Ability Details

"Call forth the Stampede of Rood to charge through Enemies, stunning and doing damage."

Damage per stag scales with Grace, and is affected by Enemy Armour, Headshots, and the Lethality Multiplier.
- Initially deals [94 + 5/3 x Grace] Damage per hit, gradually reducing to half the initial damage.
- Bosses receive 25% as much Damage.
  - This, along with their high armour, usually means they take 1 damage per hit.

The amount of stags scales with Grace, and is approximately [20 + 0.5 x Grace].

Stags can be blocked.

Duration is [6 + ~0.1 × Grace] seconds.

Area of effect is not affected by any Virtue.

Ability Information

Effect

Upon healing via Regain or Torment, gain an additional hidden charge for the equipped Rune which is revealed upon activation.

Type

Passive

Ability Details

"Your heartbeat quickens. Heal while your Rune recharges to speed up recharge time."

Healheart's in-game description is misleading, as it was not updated in the Rune Rework of Preludes 14. At any time, heal any amount of lost Life via specific methods to renew the charge of the equipped Rune by approximately 50/70/95/110% of a single charge, scaling with points into the Healheart Pact Art.

Note that the charge renewed by Healheart is invisible until the Rune is activated. It may at first seem like Healheart can only apply to duration-based runes such as

Treefell - but it will also apply for non duration-based Runes like

Everflame, providing a hidden charge that is revealed upon activation.

The very first hidden charge gained on an empty Rune cannot be used to activate the Rune, but once the first visual charge is gained via Pull Smite, the Rune can then be activated to reveal a second free charge from Healheart.

Known healing methods that trigger Healheart include:
- Regain Hits
- Torment

Known healing methods that do not trigger Healheart:
- Life Elixirs
- The Sympathy Pact Art
- Elderbloom
- Nightfold low-life passive healing

Partial Rune charges given to non duration-based Runes may be used for the Rune's full effect.

Partial Rune charges given to duration-based Runes will activate as usual, and continue until either one charge has been drained or, if the last charge, until the Rune is empty.

Ability Information

Effect

Reduces the base cooldown duration of the Behest arcanic.

Type

Passive

Ability Details

"Your rule is supreme. Regain Arcanic power to cast Behest more quickly."

Reduces the base cooldown duration of Behest by 7.5 Seconds per rank, up to a maximum of 30 Seconds.

Trivia

Garren Rood is often described using depictions of Grace ("graced in blue", "'twas Grace that was him freed", "By Saphene's grace", "'Twas the Stag's grace", "the grace of my crown..."). Despite this, his Pact used to give a bonus to Spirit - and its description references Mora, the deity ascribed to Courage.
